Default New C5 Owner
Hey all! I'm 20 and a couple months ago I picked up my first 2000 C5 FRC Corvette. This car has been amazing to me so far and is a big change from my predominately import background. Right now the car is my daily driver but my goal for it is to eventually participate in a drift event with it. So far the only mods I have done are BC Racing coil overs and some Work Euroline wheels.
